Letter #3728

Hans von SICKINGEN, Franz Conrad von SICKINGEN, Ulrich von CZETTRITZ & [Cornelis DE SCHEPPER] to Ioannes DANTISCUS
Innsbruck, [1532, November or December]

English register:

This short letter, in three different hands, seems to have been written during a carousal. Hans von Sickingen, Franz Conrad von Sickingen and Ulrich von Czettritz send greetings – in German – to Dantiscus. De Schepper, who is less drunk, writes in Latin on behalf of the others. He comments on their cheerful party and promises that Nibschitz will verbally convey the message of the Sickingen brothers to Dantiscus.

Glandes habent et grandes magis pro mulieribus quam pro aliis. Et sic vino et laetitia ebrii haec responsa remittunt. Si notas, manum intelliges, non esse sobrios.

Dominus Ceystritz heri bibit pro salute multorum et sui non fuit oblitus. Osculatus est pedes non pontificis maximi, sed cuiusdam formosae mulieris.

Et bene vale.
